Copying clips to different tracks

This seems to be a beginner's issue, but anyway: when I copy a clip in a sequence and want to paste it on a different track, the clip always ends up on the track I copied from.
Changing the destination track before pasting doesnot work with me.
The same thing happens when I paste the clip in another sequence.
Is there a hidden pref or setup that can make it work?

C'mon Bogie! You and I both know < </div>
Actually, Patrick, I freely admit I do not know anything about AutoSelect's operations and here's why:
With AutoSelect activated, your designations for destination and selection tracks are overridden by invisible, behind-the-interface, logic parameters. There is no indication which tracks are activate. The only visible indicators in the timeline, the user-selected destinations, are invalidated by AS. You must remember the logical progressions AutoSelect uses to determine where your tracks are going to end up. If AutoSelect knows where they're going, why isn't there a visual indication?
Yes, some tracks light up if you have in/out points set. That is a higher editing function not required or even desired by lots of folks like me who just need to cut-paste without having to remember invisible priorities. It's lame programming, a bad idea that remains unfinished. For many users, AutoSelect just gets in the way of enjoying FCP by obscuring basic operations and overriding user decisions.
FCP includes non-features that assume the operator is an idiot. I'm impatient; I'm not an idiot. I live with these hassles and I resent the presumptuousness of the design team. AutoSelect bites; I just turn it off, but Media Manager remains inexcusably flawed.

  • Copying Clip in another Track

    Good morning,
    I am using FCE 3.0 and am having trouble copying clips into another track. I have tried the Copy/Paste method as well as dragging the selected clip with the <Option>key.
    The Copy/Paste method does not paste the clip at the playhead on a different track, and the <Option> key method simply moves the clip from one track to another.
    I'm sure I'm missing some simple element here and would like to know what it is.
    Thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    For the copy/paste way: pay attention to select the correct video and audio tracks targets.
    Sometimes, it's easier to place your playhead right after the last clip of the sequence and paste. Reposition the resulting copy.
    For the option drag: pay attention to use option key BEFORE clicking on your original clip, and drag.
    Check if your tracks are locked.

  • Transitions on clips on different tracks?

    Hello
    Is there a way of putting transitions between clips on different tracks or do I have to continue doing what I do currently a cut the tracks together on one track and then add transitions.
    Many Thanks

    In case your question isn't about technique, but rather of functionality - i.e.. can you get FCP to do such-and-such - then yes, you can place transitions across multiple tracks (and edit points) via the keyboard shortcut for the default transition (Command-T) or the Menubar (Effects > Video Transitions > ... ). Dragging from the Effects tab, unfortunately, won't work for multiple edit points.
    Of course, you'll have to select those edit points, either via Command-clicking or using the Edit Selection Tool, and not the clips.
    Even then, this is not a perfect solution in terms of how transitions will be sequenced (you might find yourself having to adjust transition alignment and/or clip lengths) but I just wanted to cover all the bases.

  • Copy and paste clips in different tracks

    Hi everyone!
    Since i upgrade from premiere pro to CS4, some easy stuff like copying and pasting my clip from one track to another one does't work.
    When a select a clip in my timeline then i hit CTRL+C then i select another video track and hit CTRL+V instead of copying the clip in the selected video track, it just copy it back in the same track it was before.
    I know, it's not such a big deal but i fouded it really useful so if anyone know how to do that it would really help me out.
    Thanx a lot for all your response
    gen

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for you'r answer.
    Like as you said, i've been targeting the track and only one track at a time but i'll start by downloading the update 4.1 and see what happen. I'll let you guys know it it fix my problem.
    Thanx again,

  • Copying Clips to New Tracks in Premier Elements 2

    I am using Premier Elements 2 and I'm trying to copy clips from Video 1 track to another video track. When I paste the clip it always seems to appear on Video track 1.
    How can I copy a clip from video 1 track to any other track i.e 2, 3 or 4.
    Many Thnaks.
    Stewie

    Any time you use paste, the clip will go to Video 1 at the position of the CTI.
    To place a clip on another video track, just drag it there.

  • Pasting clip to different track not working

    Just trying a simple task that doesn't seem to work correctly. I want to copy a clip on track one, and paste it to track two. I have tried all combinations of changing source and destination controls. Clip always pastes to track one, not track two as intended. What am I missing?
    Thanks.
    Tom

    Depending on the version of FCE you;re using, copy and pasting functions are not controlled by the destination track settings but by the autoselect buttons. The lowest autoselected track will be the track the material will paste to.

  • When clicking an audio clip on the timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014, it duplicates it on a different track and makes it impossible to work.

    I'm experiencing a disturbing issue as it actually prevents me to do the work in Premiere. I will put as much info as possible:
    1) Project started on a different computer (the editor), PC with Premiere Pro CC,
    2) Now opened on my Imac with Premiere Pro CC 2014,
    3) I am not editing, simply trying to move audio clips on different tracks to export audio tracks only,
    THE ISSUE:
    1) Here is my timeline:
    2) When I select an audio clip to highlight it, Premiere creates a duplicate on a different track:
    Note that the clip highlighted in the previous screen cap is the duplicate and I didn't click it, Premiere highlights it as soon as it is duplicated.
    3) When I click out of the timeline or scroll up or down on the timeline, the duplicates disappear. However, when I try to move the original clips, it doesn't do anything, they are stuck in place.
    ANTICIPATED ANSWERS:
    1) You work on 2 different computers with 2 different versions of Premiere Pro CC, what do you expect? --> The amazing thing about Adobe CC is that it shouldn't be an issue and now I have to deal with it in this way,
    2) Try and save an updated version of your project from your computer. --> Already done that.
    Thank you for your help. I usually use the customer support chat but I am on the other side of the globe and it is now closed. This issue prevents me to work so I need to solve it quickly.
    Kind regards,
    Aurelien

    This sounds to me like it could be a graphics related problem are you on the latest driver. Something else you could try, start a new project and import the one from the PC into that rather than directly opening it in the MAC

  • Is there a way to select multiple track sections from different tracks and join them to make the chorus on iPhone?

    I am currently using the iPhone to record my vocals on top of professional beats, or riddims as they are called in the dancehall world. Is there a way for me to select multipe voice sections from different tracks, copy them and then paste them later in the project. I don't want to record the chorus more than once. Normally what I do is sync the project to my wife MacBook Air and then from there edit it but I would like to avoid this. Also, I use the earpods microphone to record my voice and of course it doesn't come out professional quality but it is decent. Do you recommend a microphone that plugs to the iPhone or should I get an interface? Thanks for the help.

    You can either copy and paste single regions or duplicate sections, if you want to copy regions
    from different tracks in parallel. 
    See: Extend a song with song sections
    Adjust the length of your sections in a way, that the regions you want to copy from different tracks are together in a section of your song.
    Add a copy of a section:
    Open the song section controls, choose the section you want to copy, then tap Duplicate.The copy is added after the last section.
    Tap Done to close the song section controls.
    After copying the section, move the new section to the end of the song:
    Change the order of sections:
    Open the song section controls, then tap Edit.
    Drag a section up or down in the list by the handle on its right edge.
    When you are finished, tap Done.
    Tap Done to close the song section controls.
    Regards

  • Clips are being added in different tracks (as in layers)

    I am have two videos clips which I am dragging to the screenline.
    I drag the first clip it goes into track 1.
    When I drag the second clip it automatically goes to track 2.
    If I delete it from track 2 to try to get it into track 1, it goes to track 3.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Steve, this is what I found out.
    As you said the problem is audio and I believe it happens when recording in SD using audio 5.1 and mpeg format.
    I was suggested to set my video to stereo but my camcorder doesn't offer stereo option.
    I finally redefined what was happening as follows:
    TIMELINE - when I drag a video clip here it goes to track 2. I can continue adding more clips and they are inserted one after the other in track 2.
    SCENELINE - however after I add the clips in Timeline and look in Sceneline I only see the first clip. Furthermore I can drag a clip to sceneline ok but any attemp to drag any more doesn't seem to do anything... BUT if I go to Timeline I see them all, each in a different track. E.G. one in track 4 the next in 5 and so on.
    I was offered the following solutions:
    1.  after acquiring the video clips, use the File>Export>Movie to export all the clips.  PE7 automatically exports them in .avi format or
    2.  use the Prism convertion program to convert the clips to .avi
    both worked.
    I thought I pass this on so as not to leave this issue hanging unresolved.
    Thanks again for the help you have always given me.

  • Inserting multiple clips stacked on different tracks

    Hi All,
    I know this has to have come up before, and my memory has the tingle that I thought I'd done this in the past, but I really can't seem to remember or find it now.
    Basicly, Inserting multiple clips from project window into the timeline and stacking on different tracks (vertically) instead of Head to tail.

    Ok so gonna end up answering my own question , after some playing around I found this way of doing it.
    Select all files you want to insert
    right click and select create multicam
    sync via start unless you want to try and audio sync them (I use plural eyes 3)
    create sequence from multicam
    Ctrl double click the multicam
    This gives you a sequence with all files on seperate tracks, if I don't really want/need a multicam for that particular project I cut and past into a new sequence then use plural to sync vid audio, otherwise i just sync in the multicam and im ready to go.
    Although this works, there really should be an easier way, a shift + Ctrl while dropping on the timeline ... feature request !
    ps. I read someone state that this was not a regularly needed funciton in premier .. I really dont know what work they are doing but i need this every single day !

  • Simple copy-paste breaks all tracks below

    I'm just trying to duplicate a clip (on the timeline) to place a second version somewhere else on the timeline. But the "Duplicate" option is gray and unavailable and when I copy the clip then paste it, it chops the clips on all the tracks below it (video and audio). The same thing happens when I option-drag.
    Thanks!

    You can't duplicate a clip in the timeline; there's no where to duplicate it to. You have to copy and paste it. Select the clip and copy. Where you paste the clip is controlled by where the playhead is and how the auto select buttons are set. By default the paste the material will go back at the playhead to the same tracks that it came from. If you want it to go to different tracks you change the auto select buttons, setting one the lowest number track you want the clip to go to and switching off auto select for the tracks that you don't want the clip to go to.

  • How do I stop score returning to beginning each time I select different track?

    In score window I am copying and pasting from different tracks and no matter where playhead is the display keeps returning to the beginning of the piece. Any help with this would be great thank you.

  • Transitions Between Clips on Different

    In FCP 7 I often had an interview clip in the timeline and then I would add a photo or b-roll in the video track above the interview. I would then often add a fade or other transition to this b-roll and it would fade nicely from the interview to the b-roll and back, even though they were on different tracks. It appears that Final Cut Pro X no longer lets you do this. Has anyone found a work around? When I try all the various methods of adding a transition, none of them work. Is this another wonderful feature that has been removed in the "update"?
    Kurtis

    I do it in FCP exactly the same as I did it in 7. Put a cross dissolve at the beginning of the clip and it fades up.

  • Copying clips to subject bins

    In reorganizing the large project I'm working on, I want to copy clips into bins by subject. But I'm worried that by doing so I'll wind up breaking the connection between the original clips (in bins by tape) and the sequences they will eventually be edited into. This seems to have been what happened to previous editors on the project.
    Is it ok to do this or is it better to assemble clips by subject into sequences? My concern about this approach is that creating a lot of sequences will increase the size of my project and make in unweildy. Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Loch

    See the manual on handling clips in the bins. It's okay to make all the copies you want and put them anywhere you want.
    Subclips? Different matter.

  • In I-Tunes, how can I consolidate multiple copies of the same album with different tracks into one file in my library screen?

    In Windows 7 , I tunes library/ albums, I have many albums ( all the same) with different tracks in each.
    Is it possible to consolidate the multiple cover photos into one ?

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things, if not see Grouping tracks into albums.
